I am convinced that we will make the most of our highly anticipated Olympic debut and that we will finally show the world that Karate adds great value to the Olympic movement,” said WKF President Antonio Espinós.
“We deserve to be in the Olympic programme permanently and now it is the moment for us to show how hard we have worked to make this happen. We will show how great our sport is,” added Mr Espinós who thanked the members of the Executive Committee for their commitment and contribution to the success of the Karate’s Olympic debut.
